If you never heard about the Ace Attorney series before:

Ace Attorney, known in Japan as Gyakuten Saiban (逆転裁判, lit. “Turnabout Trial”), is a series of visual novel adventure games, created by Shu Takumi and developed and published by Capcom, in which players assume the role of a defense attorney in a fictional courtroom setting, which is based on the Japanese legal system, to strive to find their clients “not guilty” using investigation, evidence, and cross-examination to prove their case. The series primarily focuses on the main protagonist, Phoenix Wright, a passionate lawyer who seeks out the truth and defends his clients to the end, with later games sometimes featuring other protagonists.
